Tail Pipes

I have a 88LX and my buddy just took his magnaflow tailpipes off his 03 GT for a dump setup and was wondering if I could fit his tailpipes on my 88lx without serious modifications...If I have to cut some pipe off something thats not big deal but are the bends the same for going over the axle. Has anybody ever done this...
Thanks,
Evan

RE: Tail Pipes

There was some cobbled set up on my coupe when I bought it.

The mufflers were too close to the ground, about 3 or 4" from the floor. It could not go up any higher because the top of the over the axle pieces were up as high as they could go.

I suspect the old tailpipes were off some other year Mustang. Maybe a 94 or up.

RE: Tail Pipes

it will fit, but you will have to modify the rear most exhaust hanger

RE: Tail Pipes

Yea the hangers are different the 99-04 have a different bend than the 87-93, when i bought my magnaflow i had to reorder a hanger and they sent me a 99-04 style and it was totally wrong.... the newer ones are bent up and back, the older ones are bent up and out.
